The metabolic response of pteropods to acidification reflects natural CO<sub>2</sub>-exposure in oxygen minimum zones
Shelled pteropods (Thecosomata) are a group of holoplanktonic mollusks that are believed to be especially sensitive to ocean acidification because their aragonitic shells are highly soluble. Despite this concern, there is very little known about the physiological response of these animals to conditi...
